not making this up

Postby ScaleCraft » Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:14 am

Neat advertisement for a Maerklin UP 800 series:
https://ajckids.com/products/marklin-37984
Outta my price range.
However, one of the photos is quite telling, reminiscent of Botchman:

Must run REAL smooth. I wonder how many that seller actually sold?

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.

Regardless! Happened to show up in a search!
Didja MISS the oops?

Compare rear driver counterweight position to the other three. or crankpin. Or, even the angle of the 3-4 side rod as compared to railhead.

Or how he got #3 driver dropped down between rails and none of the others.

I always liked Marklin HO but yeah that is LAME.
Neat site though, apparently ROCO is offering doing Eastern Europe/Russian design diesels?
